  Beschreibung

  Hello out there, I am Shekhar, an open minded thirties man born in Bhaktapur ("City of Devotees" and World heritage city) in the Kathmandu Valley. I am married and have two boys : Pranav and Pratham. I am very passionate about my city and that is why I opened a Guest House a few years ago to make travelers discover this place and its surroundings in a different way, closer to its inhabitants, its culture and the spirit of this ancient city. Because I believe travelling doesn't just mean discovering new landscapes but it also immersing oneself in the world around us. So volunteering in the Guest House isn't only about helping me but about sharing and exchanging, the motto of my place is "sharing is caring"!
  
  For my Guest House, I need you to make it even and even better, more welcoming and comfortable for travelers and backpackers. You can help in many ways, just propose your ideas and make it real : decoration (build tables, chairs, painting walls), marketing, maintenance, create and enrich a travel book of Bhaktapur and the surroundings... Everything is possible, the mantra to remember is this : let my Guest House become your home !
  
  As a volunteer, you have your own room and a shared kitchen and bathroom. You stay in the Guest House so you can meet other travelers and Nepali people !

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I'm a typical Newari, Nepali and Hindu man born In Bhaktapur. I'm passionate about my city so I know a lot of good places, temples, nice restaurants and cafés. I also would love to share my knowledge of Hinduism with you. By opening this Guest House and writing this volunteer proposal, I really want that people coming here experience a good time in the city with its inhabitants and other travelers. So I'm always enjoying taking the time to discover Bhaktapur and its surroundings with travelers and volunteers (to meet craftsmen and their beautiful realizations in wood/stone/jewelries/Gurkha's knives..., right places to eat and to drink, Hindus and Buddhist temples with explanations and other nice and important programs...).
  
  We can also play and listen to music together, watch movies, learn how to cook Nepali food and many other thing! You can teach to the others your culinary specialties, music from your country, and your talents.... I can teach you some Hindu stories and names of Gods. I will be delighted to make you discover all of this city's charming and cultural places.
  
  I also hope that I will get to discover your music, your specialties, your ideas for the guesthouse, your languages and your traditions. I am used to host many travelers from different countries and I think it is a good way to stay open minded and for my kids to learn about the world.

  I think that learning languages can be a right way to be open-minded and a citizen of a peaceful world. There is also the challenge of preserving all the Earth’s languages and not only the most spoken.

  We have a big cultural heritage in Bhaktapur (). You can make Bhaktapur as a basepoint and do small hikes 3/5 hrs around different parts near our places. The city is located in Kathmandu Valley, which is 13 kilometers from the capital, so you can take time to visit Katmandu. Around Bhaktapur the countryside is really beautiful with waterfalls, birds, butterflies, Tamang villages, Hindu temples and much more. It's easy to get around here, there are a lot of buses.
  
  Some information about the nearby place where you can visit:
  Patan Durbar Square 6.7 miles 11 km
  Kathmandu Durbar Square 8.1 miles 13 km
  Boudhanath stupa 5.6 miles 9 km
  Swayambhunath temple (monkey temple 9.3 miles) 15 km
  Nepal tourism office 7.5 miles 12 km
  Pashupatinath 5.8 miles 10 km
  
  If you come from the airport, I can pick you up there for around 1500NRS. If you don't come from the airport, you can use taxis (24h / 7 days) or buses. You can use an app called Indriver or Pathao (like Uber) to have local prices.
  
  I look forward to meeting you ! Send me a message and we can talk more. See you !
